Introduction This manual explains the hardware aspects of Adcon’s A753 addWAVE Series 4 remote telemetry units, including installation issues and certain parameter configurations. The manual is divided as follows: •Introduction, which gives some general information and document conventions. •Using the addWAVE, which details the installation and use of the remote telemetry unit. •Performing Advanced Functions, which discusses connectors and controllers and provides other information for advanced users. •Specifications, which describes operating parameters for the devices. About the A753 addWAVE Series 4 The A753 addWAVE Series 4 remote telemetry unit (RTU) is a low- power telemetry device with four digital  I/O ports, twelve analog inputs, and four counter inputs. The A753 is a ruggedized RTU, complying with the IP65 ingress protection class (NEMA 4). Depending on topography, it ensures a reliable wireless connection to other A73x RTUs or an A840/A850 Telemetry Gateway over a distance of up to 20km (12 miles). Due to its construction as well as to the software controlling it, the power consumption is extremely low. The unit operates off an internal 6.2 Volt rechargeable battery, which is charged either by a solar panel or an external power adapter. Compliance Statement and Warnings The A73x must not be used with an antenna other than the one supplied by Adcon (or an antenna with identical technical specifications).

RF exposure compliance issues: This telemetry device is normally used only at fixed locations far away from persons. It is collecting data from various sensors and transmitting it through the 70cm transmitter. According to Supplement C of OET Bulletin 65 for mobile transmitters operating below 1,5 GHz evaluation is not required when the effective radiated power (ERP) is below or equal to 1,5 W. This device uses a maximum power output of 500 Milliwatts, and omnidirectional antennas without antenna gain over dipole, so the ERP value is also equal to 500 Milliwatts. So this device is excluded from routine evaluation. It must be operated only as fixed or mobile device not closer than 20cm to persons.
